To say that Bush was planning to invade is not unlike saying he had an invasion plan if we chose to invade (for those to definitively say one or the other would mean they were privvy to top secret meetings … unfortunately, these statements often come from those who surmise) … the difference could very much be spin or perspective, but that’s really neither here nor there.

The most serious promise that the members gave each other was the promise that is necessary to have all lesser promises make sense in a world in which nations are the members, and that was the promise not to aggressively invade, that is not to invade without the consent of other nations on the Security Council including all of those members that hold a veto power as permanent Security Council members.

This is the sci-fi-based film that was reportedly in-the-making since 1995, and it generally is about humans who desperately want to explore aka invade an area called Pandora where lives a non-human form, called the Na'vi, in order to take the rare, expensive resources found on the land.
